A registry row only ever left the registry two ways: an explicit
teardown_bottle (the launcher's cleanup callback) or the same-IP supersede
sweep in register(). Neither runs when the launching CLI dies hard, so the
row outlives its container.
That orphan is not inert. Source IPs are recycled by the backend's DHCP and
by_source_ip fail-closes on ambiguity, so a leftover row at a reused address
resolves no policy at all for the next bottle that lands there — and a
bottle with no policy denies every host, which surfaces to the agent as
"host X is not in the allowlist" for hosts that were never the problem.
Add reap_absent/reconcile and call it from the macOS launch path before
registering, so each launch self-heals the registry. Restores the invariant
the data plane needs: at most one active row per live address, and none for
a dead one. The second half matters as much as the first — when several rows
claim a *live* address the newest wins and the rest are swept, otherwise a
recycled address stays ambiguous, which is exactly the bricked state.
The host supplies the live set because the orchestrator runs inside the
infra container and cannot see the backend. A grace window exempts rows
younger than it, so reconciliation cannot race a bottle still coming up, and
a reconcile failure is logged rather than blocking an otherwise-fine launch.

The control plane had no caller authentication — dispatch() routed every
request straight through, and the only guards anywhere were the
(source_ip, identity_token) checks inside /resolve and /attribute, which
authenticate the *bottle* a request is about, not the *caller*. On the
consolidated backends the agent shares a network with the control-plane port
(macOS: the infra container runs 8099 on the agent's --internal network;
docker: the orchestrator container sits on the shared gateway network), so a
prompt-injected agent could GET /bottles (enumerate siblings + policies),
PUT /bottles/<id>/policy (rewrite its own egress allowlist to allow-all),
POST /resolve (read the injected upstream credentials it's never meant to
see), and POST /supervise/respond (self-approve its own proposals). Every
README guarantee collapsed to the agent's discretion.
Fix: a per-host control-plane secret required on every route but GET /health,
compared with hmac.compare_digest. It is held only by the trusted callers and
never handed to an agent:
- minted + persisted 0600 at <root>/control-plane-token (paths.host_control_plane_token);
- injected as $BOT_BOTTLE_CONTROL_PLANE_TOKEN into the orchestrator + gateway
containers via bare `--env NAME` (value inherited from the launch process,
so it never lands on argv or in `container/docker inspect`);
- presented by the gateway's PolicyResolver (reads the env) on /resolve, and by
the host CLI's OrchestratorClient (reads the host file) on every call.
The agent container is never given the env var or the host file, so from a
bottle every /bottles*, /resolve, /attribute, and /supervise/* call now
returns 401 — closing the enumeration, allowlist-rewrite, credential-lift, and
self-approval. The existing (source_ip, identity_token) checks stay as
defense-in-depth.
Enforced when configured: macOS + docker inject the secret (→ enforced). With
no secret set the server runs open and warns loudly at startup — a
fail-visible fallback for the unit suite and for Firecracker, whose
port-scoped nft already blocks agents from 8099 (wiring the secret into its
infra-VM init is a clean fast-follow, left out here to avoid churning the
prebuilt-artifact hash).
Verified end-to-end on real Apple Container: infra comes up healthy, the host
CLI (with the secret) lists bottles while an unauthenticated GET /bottles gets
401, all five issue-#400 attacks from inside the agent get 401, and egress
policy still works (200 allowed / 403 denied) — proving the gateway
authenticates to /resolve with the secret. 1829 unit tests pass, pyright
clean, pylint 9.91.

Adopts the firecracker infra-VM pattern for macOS: the orchestrator control
plane and the gateway data plane now run in a SINGLE Apple container instead of
two. Apple Containers are lightweight VMs with separate kernels, so the prior
two-container design had both guests writing one bot-bottle.db over virtiofs,
where fcntl locks are not coherent across kernels — concurrent writes (the
orchestrator's registry vs the gateway supervise daemon's queue) could corrupt
it. One container = one kernel = coherent locking.
The DB moves onto a container-only Apple volume (bot-bottle-mac-db), never
bind-mounted from the host, so no host process opens the live file either. The
host CLI already reaches registry + supervise state over the control-plane HTTP
surface (cli/supervise.py uses OrchestratorClient), exactly as firecracker's
VM-only DB requires.
Two simplifications fall out of the single container:
- No DNS dance: the control plane and gateway daemons reach each other over
127.0.0.1, so the orchestrator-before-gateway ordering (a workaround for
Apple having no container DNS) is gone, along with the moved-IP recreate
logic it needed.
- Net -243 lines.
Mechanics: the infra container runs from the gateway image with the
control-plane source bind-mounted read-only (like the docker orchestrator, so a
code change needs no rebuild) and a small sh -c init that starts both processes
(mirrors firecracker's _infra_init). Also implements the macOS backend's
ensure_orchestrator() and adds it to discover_orchestrator_url, so operator
tools (supervise) can bring up / find the control plane on demand — previously
the macOS backend died with "no orchestrator control plane".
Verified end-to-end on real Apple Container 1.0.0: the single infra container
comes up healthy (one address for control plane + gateway), both processes run,
the DB is written on the container-only volume, host-side supervise works over
HTTP, and a registered agent gets 200 for an allowed host / 403 for a denied
one. 1824 unit tests pass with `container` absent (CI parity), pyright clean,
pylint 9.89.

The `bot-bottle supervise` operator TUI read and wrote the queue DB
directly and tried a backend-specific live "apply" (which was unwired —
it raised). It now talks only to the orchestrator control plane:
- OrchestratorClient gains supervise_pending() + supervise_respond().
- discover_orchestrator_url() finds the one running per-host control
plane by health-probing the backends' well-known :8099 addresses
(docker publishes on loopback; the firecracker infra VM serves it on
the orchestrator TAP) — no backend branching in the TUI.
- discover_pending/approve/reject call the client; the server does the
apply + response + audit atomically. The dead direct-DB apply/audit
helpers and the docker/macos applicator imports are gone.
- A missing control plane is now a clean one-line error up front, not a
mid-curses crash.
CLI tests move to mocking the client (the DB-write behaviour they used to
assert is now server-side, covered by test_orchestrator_service). Docker's
orchestrator-container DB wiring lands next so its /supervise endpoints hit
the same shared DB.

The cut-over dropped the per-bottle token flow, so an authed egress route on
the shared gateway failed with 'env var EGRESS_TOKEN_0 is unset' — the gateway
reads the token from its env, but a shared gateway has no per-bottle env.
Now the bottle's egress auth tokens travel to the gateway over /resolve and
the addon injects from them, mirroring what the per-bottle sidecar's env did:
- launch resolves the token values from the host env and hands them to the
orchestrator, which holds them IN MEMORY (keyed by bottle_id, never written
to the registry DB) and serves them on /resolve;
- PolicyResolver.resolve_policy_and_bottle_id + resolve_client_context now
return the token map alongside policy + bottle_id (one round-trip);
- the egress addon overlays the process env with the bottle's tokens per
request and uses that env for auth injection AND DLP — the agent never sees
the credential.
Secrets stay off disk (validated: /resolve returns the token, the registry DB
does not contain it). SecretProvider (#355) is the future hardening.

The launch path's counterpart to the gateway-side PolicyResolver: a trusted
host-side HTTP client for the orchestrator control plane, so the CLI can
register/teardown/re-policy bottles. Stdlib-only.
- OrchestratorClient.register_bottle(source_ip, *, image_ref, metadata,
policy) -> RegisteredBottle(bottle_id, identity_token) (POST /bottles)
- teardown_bottle(id) -> bool (DELETE; 404 -> False, idempotent for cleanup)
- set_policy(id, policy) -> bool (PUT; live reload)
- list_bottles() / health()
- Unlike the fail-closed data-plane resolver, this is the trusted caller: a
non-2xx (other than the meaningful 404s) raises OrchestratorClientError so
the launch path surfaces failures rather than swallowing them.
pyright 0 errors; pylint 9.82/10; unit suite green (1742 tests; the 13
test_sidecar_init /bin/sleep errors are pre-existing NixOS-local noise).
